Traditional healers have used these plants to promote lymphatic drainage and to encourage sweating and the discharge of toxins and support the skin with acne, rashes, ulcers, wounds, and as an after shave. These plants also have affinity for the urinary system and have been used traditionally to support bladder and prostate in infection.
